Medscape interview questions

I applied online and a few days later I got a call from a recruiter who arranged an interview with the hiring manager. The following interview was quite pleasant but the manager immediately said that they would possibly hire me for a lower grade (and lower paid) role since I did not have industry experience and tried to describe the role as very challenging and demanding. After the interview, I received a writing test that consisted in two writing tasks on a project proposal. I sent in the assignment on time but I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM MEDSCAPE. This is a very unprofessional and rude behavior, and a complete waste of the candidate time.
